hi guys n gals, iv got an xf fairmont and need to adjust the bands but i cant find the torque settings or any other info any where. can anybody help me please? its a borg warner model 40 auto 3speed auto, no overdrive or electrics. thanks!!

Hey Madmax, I have an xf Gregories manual in front of me.

Specs for BW 40 and M51 are as follows:

Front band adjuster locknut 27 Nm
Rear band adjuster locknut 40 Nm
Drive plate to converter 40 Nm
Drive plate to crankshaft bolts:
Bolt grade 11-9 115Nm
Bolt grade 10-9 90Nm

Hope this helps

Reading your message again you may need the specs for band adjustment they are:

Front band: Tighten adjusting screw to 1.1Nm and secure with locknut

Rear band: Tighten adjusting screw to 14Nm, back off 0.75 turn and secure with locknut

Hope these specs are what you need. If you need other info from the manual just reply.

I just read the specs again and there has to be a 6.35mm spacer inserted between the servo piston and the adjusting screw for the front band adjustment.

Sorry about the multiple posts and I hope I havnt confused you. The picture in the manual shows a piece of steel 6.35mm thick and probably 2cm wide and 10cm long being used as the spacer. It is then removed after adjusting the screw to 1.1Nm.

thanks heaps brett, thats exactly the info i need!! would you be abe to scan the pics and email them to me? it would be totaly awesome and very much apreciated if you could!!

Hey Madmax I have a scanner attached to the computer but I have never used it or placed images in emails. If you can guide me through this via PM or email then I will gladly make the attempt.
